Do you not think that time practicing together, competing with each other every night matters? Are you saying it's literally just about putting the right 5 guys on the floor, and that's all that matters?
No obviously chemistry matters, but it´s not the first time these guys play together for their national teams. The talent pool is usually pretty limited. They have obviously spent a few weeks together preparing for the Olympic qualifiers, too. When did Memphis/Indiana finish their seasons? Must have been 5-6 weeks ago.
Great accomplishment for Slovenia taking down the hosts. Btw all four tournament hosts have failed to qualify. Italy has taken down Serbia in Belgrade. Maybe not the best idea to pile on the added home pressure.
